Internet Safety and Cyberbullying Workshop
Children in grades three through five participated in an Internet Safety and Cyberbullying workshop during technology classes this week. This workshop was a collaborative effort between Mrs. Clifford and Mrs. Trudden. Please take a moment to review the key topics that were covered and continue the discussion at home.
Topics covered were:
❀ Website and Ad Safety
❀ File Sharing
❀ Cell Phones (Texting)
❀ Email, MySpace, and Facebook
❀ Make Safe Online Choices
❀ Cyberbullying
❀ Warning Signs of Cyberbullying
❀ Real Life Consequences
Also, remind your child to always think about being a Technology PALS when they are evaluating their use of technology.
P – Protection (about your identity and reputation)
A – Appropriate (about inappropriate sites)
L – Legal (about plagiarism, copying software/music)
S – Safe & Responsible (about handling computers, software, equipment, backing up)
Some helpful links to reinforce these concepts can also be found on the following websites:
